Timeline Photos - Bill Phillips Transformation: "Me at age 47 left (so embarrassing) now at age 50 on the right. Just like everybody else, when I stop working out and eating right, I lose muscle and gain fat. I had a serious injury a few years ago and had to be in a wheelchair and hospital bed for a long time. I got back on track though and I worked hard to gain muscle and cut my bodyfat from 23% to 8%. I might not ever be as strong as I was before the accident but I am determined to be as good as I can be at this point in my life. Best of all now... I can walk up stairs and even jog a little... I am grateful for every step! If you have had adversity knock you off track, don't give up! Don't let age stop you either! You CAN get your body and life back on track! I know, because I did it."
How Dwayne Johnson rocked the film business: "The best advice that The Rock ever got was something the director of Gridiron Gang, Phil Joanou, said to him on set in 2005: Protect the thing that allows you to do what you do. Johnson rephrases it: “Around every corner always protect the engine that powers you.” Johnson’s engine is his unusual support team. He and Garcia, who have a 13-year-old daughter, divorced in 2007 and then in 2012 co-founded 7 Bucks Productions. Johnson now lives with his girlfriend of seven years, Lauren Hashian. Garcia remarried this year, to Dave Rienzi, who is now Johnson’s strength and conditioning coach. It’s enough to raise The Rock’s eyebrow, he acknowledges. “Life is amazing. Life is fucking messy. Life is what you make of it,” he says. “I’m happy to say we’re all together working nicely, but it took a lot of work. With Dany, it was going through the sludge of divorce and then having the clarity to say, ‘We’re still friends, we respect each other, let’s do business. And let’s do big business.’”"
"... the only person who CAN fix the problem is you, even if you had nothing to do with causing it."
"Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Scott Adams Blog: Loser Choices 10/31/2014: "Here's my point: The loser worldview is that whoever is causing the problem needs to fix it for you. The problem with the loser worldview is that in many cases the only person who CAN fix the problem is you, even if you had nothing to do with causing it. A winner in that situation fixes his own problem. A loser sits indefinitely waiting for others to solve it for him, even knowing that won't happen...
The winner worldview is that you have responsibility for your own life and it is irrelevant who is at fault if the people at fault can't or won't fix the problem. I've noticed over the course of my life that winners ignore questions of blame and fault and look for solutions they can personally influence. Losers blame others for their problems and expect that to produce results. If you want to see a good example of winners, look at the Asian and Indian population in the United States. The country handed them the usual boatload of intense discrimination with one hand and the promise of unlimited education with the other. Who's your valedictorian now? That's what winners do. No blame, just personal responsibility."

LIFT-RUN-BANG: Thoughts about life, crap, training, and stuff: "The other day I had to make a trip into Whore Foods, aka, Whole Foods. Why is it that for some reason I still expect to walk in there and see a bunch of people who lift and are in shape, but instead it's always filled with fat hippies? And how do these people afford all the shit in there? I see grocery carts filled up and can only think "how the hell do you pay for that week in and week out? And why do you care about organic and shit when it's very apparent that you have no care of what kind of shape you are in?" This is mesmerizing to me. While there, I found some organic protein powder. By a brand called "Warrior." On the label it had words like "hard-core" and "raw". It also had "vegan" on there too. All of those words don't go together. I am absolutely positive that if the Vikings knew what Vegans were they would have invaded those areas without weapons and just beat them all to death with their hands for the pleasure of it. "
Experts: Eat More Fat - Business Insider: "For more than half a century, the conventional wisdom among nutritionists and public health officials was that fat is dietary enemy No. 1 — the leading cause of obesity and heart disease. It appears the wisdom was off. And not just off. Almost entirely backward. According to a new study from the National Institutes of Health, a diet that reduces carbohydrates in favor of fat — including the saturated fat in meat and butter — improves nearly every health measurement, from reducing our waistlines to keeping our arteries clear, more than the low-fat diets that have been recommended for generations...
Lead researcher Lydia Bazanno, of the Tulane University School of Public Health, pitted this high-fat, low-carb diet against a fat-restricted regimen prescribed by the National Cholesterol Education Program. "We told both groups to get carbs from green, leafy vegetables, because those are high in nutrients and fiber to keep you sated," Bazanno says. "We also told everyone to stay away from trans fats." The fat-restricted group continued to eat carbs, including bread and cereals, while keeping saturated fat — common in animal products — below 7 percent of total calories. By contrast, the high-fat group cut carbs in half and did not avoid butter, meat, and cheese. Most important, both groups ate as much as they wanted — no calorie counting, no going hungry.
One year later, the high-fat, low-carb group had lost three times as much weight — 12 pounds compared with four — and that weight loss came from body fat, while the low-fat group lost muscle. Even more persuasive were the results of blood tests meant to measure the risk of heart disease and diabetes. The high-fat group, despite eating nearly twice as much saturated fat, still saw greater improvements in LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides."
